This custom Nintendo doesn’t only look like a chest from the game, but it also contains a spinning and floating Triforce.

Originally found by Kotaku, the custom Legend of Zelda console comes from the genius’s over at Mako Mod. The most striking feature of the design is not the beautiful wood grain, nor the metal chains that run from the lid to the top of the case, but the rotating Triforce that actually floats in mid-air.

Purchased recently on eBay for just over 1,000 euros, the NES uses “electromagnetic levitation technology” and a “near-field wireless transmission of electricity” to create the effect, which is really, really cool.

Make sure to check out the video above to see the mod in all its glory.
